Default Tx Key: There are four keys 1~4 that you can select at will. All computers, access points, and wireless adapters must use the same key when making a connection. Encryption Key 1~4: Enter the password in the encryption key field that the encryption key number must match the selected Tx key. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): It is designed to improve WEP security and provides stronger data protection and network access control than WEP. Most wireless networks should use either WEP or WPA security. WPA-PSK/ WPA2-PSK: WPA-PSK is easier to configure than WEP. All computers, access points, and wireless adapters must use the same type of security when making a connection. WPA-PSK mode (PreShared Key or WPA-Personal). In this mode, a pre-shared key or passphrase is used for authentication. The enhanced WPA2 uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to provide stronger encryption mechanism. Pre-Shared Key Format: There are two formats for choice to set the Pre-shared key select the format form the pull-down list, Passphrase and Hex (64 characters). If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64 characters string. For easier configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 than 63 characters) format is recommended. Pre-Shared Key: This is the shared secret password between computers, access points, and wireless adapters. Only for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication modes, this field must be filled with character longer than 8 and less than 63 characters, in which the 802.1x Authentication will be activated. Make sure the same password is used on all computers, access points, and wireless adapters. Apply Changes: Click this button to save and apply the current settings.
